Step 8 Click Enable in the Enable Radio field. Step 9 Click Apply.

Step 10 Close your web-browser.

SSID

Wireless clients attempting to associate with the access point must use the same SSID as the access point. If a client device’s SSID does not match the SSID of an access point in radio range, the client device will not associate. The access point default SSID is tsunami. Refer to the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points for instructions on how to configure an SSID.

Note The default SSID (tsunami) is not supported in access points running Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA or later. You must configure an SSID before client devices can associate to the access point.

WEP Keys

The WEP key you use to transmit data must be set up exactly the same on your access point and any wireless devices with which it associates. For example, if you set WEP Key 3 on your client adapter to 0987654321 and select it as the transmit key, you must also set WEP Key 3 on the access point to exactly the same value. The access point does not need to use Key 3 as its transmit key, however.

Refer to the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points for instructions on setting the access point’s WEP keys.

Security Settings

Wireless clients attempting to authenticate with your access point must support the same security options configured in the access point, such as EAP or LEAP, MAC address authentication, Message Integrity Check (MIC), WEP key hashing, and 802.1X protocol versions.
